BOUND BY BETRAYAL

Chapter Nineteen

 (Trigger warning: Mature audience) 

My heart raced as he uttered those chilling words, "Drag her to my room." I couldn't believe what I was witnessing as he discarded the gun near the lifeless body. He turned and made his way towards his room, leaving me filled with fear and confusion. 

Just then, four of the guards stepped forward toward me while the rest started clearing the mess in the area. As the guards approached, their stoic expressions concealed their true feelings. I could sense their discontent with the chaotic situation, and it only fueled their animosity towards me. It seemed like they had more reasons to despise me now. 

My heart skipped a beat as the four imposing figures loomed in front of me. "Please, this way," they said. I gulped hard, nodding my head ever so slightly. I wasn't ready to escalate the situation any further.

So I allowed my body to move on autopilot as I took hesitant steps toward the room. My mind was clouded, unable to process the horrifying scene I had just witnessed. Escaping seemed futile; I knew they would catch me before I could even reach the end of the corridor. The weight of fear pressed down on me, suffocating any hope of survival. 

          I still have some plans, dying now will be pointless and equally make me a coward and make our company gone forever. 

My heart raced as I reached the door, feeling their presence close behind me. With a deep breath, and nervously stretched out my trembling hand forward and pushed the door open.

However, as I entered the room, chills crawled up my body, causing me to tremble. With each nervous step, his dreadful voice echoed against the walls, sending terrifying chills through my already shivering body. It was an unnerving experience.

"You all were well informed to drag her ass, or are you all now deaf?" He was standing in the middle of the room, his back facing us as he gazed into the image of the woman in the picture. His voice was filled with coldness and devoid of any emotions. 

I could feel the tremor in my body as I shuddered against the wall, using the door for support,  "Boss…..  We accept our punishment," they mumbled before forcefully gripping my hands harshly, feeling the blood circulating being blocked and pain instantly shot through my body.

Chuckling, he waved dismissively with his left hand, still facing away from us. The guards nodded and forcefully pushed me into the room. I groaned and stumbled to the ground, feeling a sense of dread as the door was closed and locked behind me. It was just me and this terrifying presence in the room.

"You broke the second rule……" His voice, smooth as silk, sent shivers down my spine, but the ominous aura surrounding him made it difficult to appreciate its remarkable quality. The words he spoke echoed in the room, emphasizing the severity of my transgression.

     "He is a demon... He took everything away from us! Enjoying slacking us to nothing after taking everything from us in our vulnerable state," I whispered to myself, the words dripping with bitterness and resentment. The memories of his manipulation and the pain he inflicted on us came rushing back, fueling my anger. But amidst the whirlwind of emotions, I had to remind myself to stay focused. This manipulating demon stood before me, his presence casting a dark shadow over the room. As he paused, the anticipation grew, and I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. Time seemed to stand still as he slowly began to turn around.

My heart skipped a beat as he abruptly turned, causing me to instinctively recoil from his piercing gaze. The intensity in his eyes sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. "Rule two was broken... lying," he stated, his voice laced with a mix of authority and menace. He slowly walked over to the couch and with calculated confidence, he sauntered over to the couch and settled himself down. Crossing one leg over the other in a casually hazardous manner.
